Editor's note: the following is in response to the column by Jerry Cornfield (Courier-Herald, July 16).
Jack Fagan, Mike Fagan and I co-sponsored the 2/3-For-Taxes ConstitutionalAmendment Initiative this year and worked really hard for the past six months leading its' signature drive. We recently announced that that effort fell short this time.
Initiative 1325 had a single goal: to let the voters decide on a constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds vote of the Legislature or majority vote of the people to raise taxes.
That policy should sound very familiar: over the past 20 years, it's been on the ballot five times and the voters have passed it five times. The last time it was on the ballot, in 2012, it passed in all 39 counties and received more votes than any initiative in state history. An astonishing 1.9 million voters overwhelmingly approved its' tougher-to-raise-taxes policy.
Nonetheless, our initiative this year, which would have allowed the voters to enshrine the two-thirds policy permanently in our state Constitution, didn't qualify.
Does that mean the voters are now suddenly in favor of massive tax increases? Are voters salivating for a sky-high state income tax? Are they clamoring for household budget-busting property tax increases? Job-killing business tax hikes? Regressive sales tax increases?
Of course not.
Not succeeding right away with an initiative policy is not unusual. Over the past 16 years, we've often made several attempts on a broad array of issues: lowering car tab taxes (four attempts), limiting property taxes (four attempts), renewing Initiative 601's fiscal policies (five attempts), improving transportation (three attempts), empowering the state auditor to conduct performance audits of government, protecting the initiative process and others.
Some were successful, some weren't. But that's how it works. There's never a straight line to success in anything, especially politics. What separates the winners from the losers is how they respond to setbacks. Winners keep trying; losers give up. The only reason we've succeeded for so long is: one, we're very persistent; and two, the people have consistently demanded that tax increases must always be an absolute last resort.
We're obviously disappointed in not qualifying our 2/3 Constitutional Amendment Initiative for the ballot. We wanted the citizens to have the chance to vote because we're confident they'll overwhelmingly support it. Past elections and current polls prove it.
But since we didn't qualify, our greatest concern now is that some in the Legislature will say that our initiative's non-qualification was actually the people endorsing the idea of higher taxes.
That'd be a huge mistake.
Families are still struggling. Businesses are too. These are tough, tough times. State and local politicians must be constantly reminded that imposing higher taxes and fees will only make our bad economy worse. No government has ever taxed itself to prosperity.
When it comes to political advocacy, there are lots of ups and downs. The only way to survive and thrive is to embrace the grind and persevere. Through our initiative and legislative efforts, we will continue to fight for taxpayers by deterring the Legislature from making this bad situation worse by raising taxes.
Tim Eyman, Mukilteo

Delivery of diva's baby was wild ride
I delivered my own baby, by myself, in my car.
You know I'm always encouraging you to do things on your own to save money, but giving birth by yourself in a Prius isn't one of them. Everyone says the second baby comes faster than the first. They're right.
My husband and little brother loaded me into the car just 45 minutes after my contractions started, yet we still didn't make the six-mile drive to the hospital in time.
We got to the emergency room parking lot, my husband jumped out to get help, and Princess Sloane started crowning.
Inside the ER, the guard was mistaking the husband's panicked "My wife is having a baby" for the run-of-the-mill panicked husband's "My wife is having a baby," rather than the "Holy cow! My wife is literally having a baby! In her yoga pants!"
There I was, howling like a wild animal, screams echoing into the September air, when poor husband rolled up with a wheelchair.
I don't remember yelling at him to "Get a PERSON!" but I heard someone or something growl those and other words in his direction.
Long story short, my daughter was born the old-fashioned way. Minutes later, the ER crew swept in, and all was right with the world.
People think it's just hilarious that the Discount Diva found a way to avoid paying the hospital's labor and delivery fees.
But believe me, this is one time I wouldn't have minded splurging.
As my doctor said, "You thought you were saving money delivering by yourself, but just wait until you get the bill from Delta Sonic!"
Yes, there are plenty of other ways to save money on labor and delivery, should you choose to do so at a hospital with doctors attending.
You can opt for a shared room rather than a private one (though I'd argue the extra $50 is worth the privacy). You can skip the epidural (although if I could have bought an epidural from the Burger King drive-thru, I would have). And who needs a television and phone in your room when all you'll want to do is sleep? You can also call hospitals in advance to find which one has the best average rates for maternity care.
Friends reminded me to check my bill closely to be sure the hospital didn't try to charge me for what I had taken care of myself. Even if you don't have a DIY birth, this is sound advice.
As I was combing through the charges for my daughter's birth, I came to a line billing me $250.
For a circumcision.

No. 14 Harvard Takes Down No. 21 Darmouth In 83rd All-Time Contest
Oct. 31, 2009
Courtesy of Harvard
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In the 83rd edition of the Harvard-Dartmouth rivalry, No. 14 Harvard downed No. 21 Dartmouth 2-1 in Ivy League men's soccer action Saturday at Ohiri Field. With the win, the Crimson improves to 11-3-1 with a 3-1-1 record in the Ancient Eight.
Kwaku Nyamekye chose a good time to score his first goal of the season, as he blasted home a half volley off a corner kick from Adam Rousmaniere, just 4:42 into action. Lucky Mkosana tied the score at one all by netting a full volley in the 56th minute. Maarten van Ess provided the assist on Dartmouth's goal by flicking the ball to Mkosana with his head.
Co-captain Andre Akpan tallied the game winner in the 63rd minute. Akpan got on the end of Brian Grimm's through-ball over the top of the defense. Akpan dribbled around two defenders and bent the ball around the Big Green's goalkeeper and into the left side netting of the goal. With the score, Akpan now has 11 on the season and 45 in his career to put him two behind Chris Ohiri '64 for the most goals in a career at Harvard. Austin Harms made four saves in net for the Crimson, including a kick save on a point-blank shot with ten minutes left to keep Harvard a goal ahead.
Harvard visits Columbia in the final road game of the regular season Saturday, Nov. 7 at 4:30 p.m.

SOURCE: SciClone Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
May 16, 2013 16:00 ET
FOSTER CITY, CA--(Marketwired - May 16, 2013) - SciClone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCLN) today reported its expectations regarding financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Friedhelm Blobel, Ph.D., SciClone Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The accounting treatment for portions of our NovaMed promotion services revenue that may impact the timing of revenue recognition between quarters is under review. We are working with both our prior and current independent registered public accounting firms on the matter. To obtain a resolution on this matter we believe we will need to consult with the SEC and we are unable to predict the timing of when our 10-Q will be filed. Today, we are reporting preliminary results assuming an accounting basis consistent with the Company's financial statements for the 2012 year-end, as well as our expectation of variances in the results for this quarter. The most significant issue we are reviewing is whether a portion (approximately 25%) of our promotion services revenue under our Sanofi agreement should be recognized during each of the first three quarters, or deferred until the fourth quarter of the same year. Until this issue is resolved, we will not be able to finalize our results and file our Form 10-Q for the quarter."
Except as noted, all information in this report assumes an accounting basis consistent with the Company's financial statements for the 2012 year-end. Overall revenues are expected to be $29.8 million, compared to $41.1 million for the same period of the prior year, including a $10.7 million or 36% decrease in sales of ZADAXIN®. The Company previously communicated that ZADAXIN revenues would be lower in the first half of the year as it reduces its channel inventory levels. As discussed previously, in 2012 during the third quarter and particularly in September 2012, the Company estimates that there was an increase of approximately $14 million in ZADAXIN channel inventory levels, and the Company believes that sales to its customers, importers and distributors exceeded the pace at which they were able to sell ZADAXIN through to hospital pharmacies and other parties, resulting in lower commercial sales by the Company to its importer in the first quarter of 2013. ZADAXIN channel inventory levels decreased by approximately $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, and decreased by approximately $5 million in the first quarter of 2013 due to strong demand for ZADAXIN in the market and a decreased supply to importers. The Company expects these levels to continue to improve in the second quarter of 2013 to more typical levels for imported drugs in China. In addition, the Company has made significant organizational and management enhancements, including the hiring of an experienced Chief Executive Officer for China Operations, designed to improve its sales and marketing performance.
"In the first quarter of this year, we continued to execute on our sales and marketing strategies according to our 2013 business plan and delivered results that are in line with our expectations for the quarter and our ability to achieve our full-year financial guidance by year-end," said Dr. Blobel. "We continued to make good progress in reducing the ZADAXIN® channel inventory build-up, demand for ZADAXIN continues to be strong and we continue to anticipate positive momentum in the second half of this year. Importantly, hospitals sales in the quarter were, based on the information available to us, higher than the prior period a year ago. Our focus remains on reestablishing our Company's growth trajectory, including expanding sales of ZADAXIN in new markets and in new indications, as well as on establishing profitability in our product promotion business."
Continued Dr. Blobel: "With the just announced licensing agreement with Zensun (Shanghai) Science & Technology for Neucardin™, a novel, first-in-class treatment for chronic heart failure, we are fulfilling a major corporate goal to expand our product portfolio with a high quality, differentiated therapeutic with significant commercial potential to help drive our long-term growth. We believe that Neucardin has near-term commercial potential and can contribute to our long-term growth. We look forward to working with our partner Zensun to advance this promising product through the regulatory and commercial process."
Financial Results
Assuming an accounting basis consistent with the Company's financial statements for the 2012 year-end, SciClone's expectation for revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 is $29.8 million, a decrease of 27% compared to revenues for the same period of the prior year of $41.1 million. For the first quarter of 2013, ZADAXIN reported revenues are expected to be $19.0 million, compared to revenues for the same period in the prior year of $29.7 million, a decrease of 36%. The Company previously communicated that ZADAXIN revenues would be lower in the first half of the year as it reduces its channel inventory levels. For the quarter ended March, 31, 2013 the Company estimates that if it determined to change its accounting treatment for promotion services revenue under its contracts with Sanofi, recognition of between approximately $2 million and $2.5 million of the $29.8 million in revenue would be deferred until the fourth quarter. Revenue would then be recognized, provided that the Company had met certain annual sales targets, which it has met in each of the last two years.
SciClone's net income for the first quarter of 2013 is expected to be $3.9 million, compared to $9.7 million for the same period in the prior year, or $0.07 per share on both a basic and diluted basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $0.17 and $0.16 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively, for the same period in the prior year, assuming an accounting basis consistent with the Company's financial statements for the 2012 year-end. The Company estimates that if it determined to change its accounting treatment for the Sanofi contracts, net income would be between approximately $2 million and $2.5 million lower for the first quarter of 2013.
At March 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments totaled approximately $96.1 million, compared to $87.0 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in SciClone's cash balance was primarily due to the cash generated by the Company's commercial operations, partially offset by $2.5 million used in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 for the repurchase of SciClone stock.
SciClone will release full financial results, including non-GAAP results and a reconciliation to GAAP, when it has determined the appropriate accounting treatment for the Sanofi revenue.
The Company intends to hold a conference call with stockholders when the full financial results are announced.
SciClone also announced today a licensing agreement with Zensun Pharmaceuticals. The Company will incur certain expenses in connection with that transaction. The Company anticipates that it will revise guidance to reflect such anticipated expenses when it issues its final results for the first quarter.
On May 16, 2013, the Company received a written notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that the Company is not in compliance with NASDAQ listing rule 5250(c)(1) because the Form 10-Q was not timely filed. The notice was issued in accordance with standard NASDAQ procedures as a result of the delayed filing. Timely filing of periodic reports is a requirement for continued listing under NASDAQ rules. The Company expects to take all necessary steps to come into compliance with those rules as soon as the Form 10-Q is filed. The notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock.

Reading "My Age of Anxiety," Scott Stossel's first-rate study of anxiety and his candid personal history as an acute sufferer, you may feel conflicted.
On the one hand, the book is astonishingly thorough and lucidly written. It's a fascinating look at that linchpin of the human condition — the primitive fight-or-flight response — and how it resides in our psyches in a time of IEDs and SSRIs. Rare will be the reader who doesn't spot him or herself somewhere in Stossel's sweeping analysis, as he digs into parenting styles, performance stress, talk therapy, medication, depression, fear of flying, blushing, you name it.
On the other hand, you have to wonder if "My Age of Anxiety" is so good, so copiously reported and completist, in large part thanks to Stossel's harsh expectations of himself, his gnawing terror of being revealed as a fraud. Like our species as a whole, which can adapt positively when triggered by fear, Stossel — who's also the editor of The Atlantic — may well have been driven to this triumph by the excruciating anxiety that has plagued him since childhood. His perpetual agony has become our reading pleasure.
And it is agony, that's for sure. "My Age of Anxiety" comes at the torments of anxiety from every imaginable angle. It's an epic piece of synthesis, as Stossel gathers relevant material from history, pop culture, psychology, science, philosophy, religion, and literature, where he found his title in W.H. Auden's 1947 book-length poem "The Age of Anxiety." He seems to have run a net across the libraries of the world to capture every little fact and big question about his subject, then found the most strategic place to drop them in the narrative.
You may well begin the book not quite grasping the precise meaning of anxiety. For centuries, it has been a vaguely defined phenomenon that, as Stossel explains, has been discussed interchangeably with "hysteria," "worry," "neurasthenia," "vapors," "melancholy," "dread," and "edginess." Even Freud, "anxiety's patron saint," stumbled in clarifying the word and "contradicted himself repeatedly over the course of his career." And some experts believe that anxiety disorders don't truly exist, that they are, as Stossel explains, "invented by the pharmaceutical-industrial complex in order to extract money from patients and insurance companies." But by the end of the book, you'll have a strong belief in and an understanding of everything from separation anxiety to combat trauma.
You'll also finish with insights into the workings of the brain, technical material that Stossel manages to make engaging. He geeks out on the history of anxiety drugs, showing how scientists have accidentally found psychotropic properties in compounds made for other applications — a tranquilizer from the 1950s called Miltown, for example, whose origins were in the world of penicillin preservatives. Simultaneously, he addresses broader issues associated with drugs — the "pharmaceutical arms race," America's obsession with happiness and workplace advantages, and the Calvinist belief that "if a drug makes you feel good, it must be bad."
Even more than the encyclopedic material, though, Stossel's many personal stories are what give "My Age of Anxiety" its narrative unity and its emotional weight. He tells his humiliating tales with fierce honesty, and they bring as much definition to anxiety as all the hard data on brain chemistry and genetic transmission. It's all here — his early tantrums, his moments of sweat-drenched catastrophizing, his drug-juggling (including Thorazine, desipramine, Paxil, Zoloft, Xanax, and Inderal), his good and less-good therapists, his family history, and his emetophobia, which is a deathly fear of vomiting. Stossel describes trying to beat emetophobia with "exposure therapy" involving ingesting ipecac in the company of a therapist.
In one of his most vivid accounts, he is staying with the Kennedy family on Cape Cod in the late 1990s to research his first book, "Sarge: The Life and Times of Sargent Shriver." Suddenly he is stricken with a nervous stomach. He just barely makes it to the bathroom off the front hall, but then the plumbing fails and he winds up mopping the floor with his pants. Finally, he dashes upstairs with only a soiled towel around his waist and runs directly into John F. Kennedy Jr., who appears unfazed by Stossel's dishevelment. The story has obvious twinges of comedy, but the dominant mood is pathos. That day, he was caught in one of the fundamental cycles of anxiety, where the fear of an upset stomach leads to an upset stomach.
His confessional tone is remarkably likable, not least of all when he enthusiastically carries a point into one of the book's many footnotes. There are no undercurrents of humble bragging here, no overtones of exhibitionism. He doesn't even really dramatize his struggles so much as straighforwardly lay them out for us. And that makes it easy to feel sympathy, to avoid the more popular reaction of enjoying others' troubles, the schadenfreude effect.
With self-awareness as his weapon, Stossel tilts bravely into his subject matter, even to the point of looking head-on at the developing anxiety symptoms in his two young children. But there are no big fixes in "My Age of Anxiety," no last-minute transformations; just the lingering hope that knowledge and understanding will ultimately, possibly, lead to empowermentMatthew Gilbert can be reached at email@example.com.

If you have been waiting to buy a Nexus 4 or receive the one you already ordered, then you likely got an email from Google today. Customers who expressed interest in buying the Nexus 4 started receiving emails this morning that said new orders would be accepted today at 12:00 noon PST, U.S. only.
Google failed to notify customers about the availability on the November 13th launch and the Play Store was riddled with errors, so hopefully they have improved the purchase experience. It's good to see the phones back in stock, but we have heard nothing about the availability of more bumper cases or the wireless charging docks.
Those who purchased the Nexus 4 on November 13th and had their order delayed should be seeing their devices this week. Google notified customers that the orders would ship soon and many people have already received their UPS tracking number.
We don't know how many units will be available for purchase today, but we have a feeling they could sell out again. Less than half of the people who wanted to purchase one could get their orders in and many have been waiting on Google to replenish the stock.
Hit up the links below to see if they are in stock, and let us know if you are able to complete your purchase.

In the early days of the Christian church, converts were prepared during Lent for their baptisms on Easter Sunday. The Apostle's Creed, a succinct statement of Christian belief, was a central part of that preparation. At Lakewood, we'll be following their example and examining the Apostle's Creed during Lent to better understand what we believe as Christians, and why.
Each Sunday, our sermons will examine a different part of the Creed. Pastor Luke will also have a Wednesday night study beginning Feb. 21 at 6 p.m.

Pneumonia prevented Ryan Reynolds, who plays a schizophrenic murderer in "The Voices," from attending the cocktail party Sunday evening for the film at the Grey Goose Blue Door on Main Street in Park City, Utah. But that didn't stop his costar Anna Kendrick, coming off three of her movies premiering on the same day at the Sundance Film Festival, and director Marjane Satrapi, new to the Sundance circuit, from showing up.
This story first appeared in the January 22, 2014 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Compared to Cannes, where Satrapi's animated effort "Persepolis" was rewarded with the Jury Prize in 2007, she was finding Sundance more relaxed. "All the independent filmmakers are here, and I'm so happy to be here," gushed Satrapi, proceeding to scan the room with a video recorder to document the festivities. "Persepolis" is based on Satrapi's autobiographical graphic novel, and "The Voices," written by Michael R. Perry, is the first movie of Satrapi's in which she doesn't take part in the writing. "I got sent the script, and I really loved it, so I really wanted to do it. From the second you want to do something badly, you should do it," said Satrapi. "The script was funny. It was sad. It was intelligent. It had all the qualities I look for."
Kendrick's other two films at Sundance — "Happy Christmas," a dramedy from mumblecore king Joe Swanberg, and "Life After Beth," a zombie comedy — are in keeping with her eclectic choice in projects since she earned an Oscar nomination four years ago for her plucky turn in "Up in the Air."
RELATED STORY: Crowded Saturday at Sundance Film Festival >>
"['The Voices'] was very specific," the actress said. "Marjane has a very, very specific idea about what each frame will look like, what the scene will feel like, what the music might be."
"Christmas," on the other hand, wasn't even scripted.
"We had an outline, but no dialogue, no script, no idea what the finished film was going to be like," Kendrick said. "[Both films] are equally exciting."
Minutes after the party at the Blue Door for "The Voices" wound down at 9:30 p.m., Kendrick arrived at 501 on Main to join the cast and crew of "Happy Christmas" for The Next Generation Filmmaker Dinner Series. She quickly posed for photographs with Mark Webber and Swanberg, who does triple duty on the movie as its writer, director and Kendrick's on-screen brother. Webber called the movie "an anti-Christmas film in a way, at least a traditional one." He elaborated, "It's this beautiful, really small, intimate look at a family and family life set around Christmas. It's very real and natural."
Also present to promote the movie was Melanie Lynskey, who plays Swanberg's wife and Kendrick's sister-in-law in "Happy Christmas." Lynskey took a break from the business at hand to gamely dance upstairs with Alison Pill and Jason Ritter. Kendrick followed along and kept the dance party going. Amid the merriment, Swanberg emphasized "Happy Christmas," which was picked up for distribution by Magnolia Pictures and Paramount Pictures earlier in the week, covers serious ground. "I hope that it sparks conversations between men and women about the relationship between work and child care, and I hope it gets people talking about fairness and expectations for women when they have children," he said.

Baby vampire Jessica Hamby might not appear in any of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse mystery novels, but there's no question the character, as played by actress Deborah Ann Woll on HBO's vampire series "True Blood," fits seamlessly into the multidimensional world show-runner Alan Ball has crafted from the work of the bestselling author. Playing the good Christian girl turned angsty adolescent vamp gives the USC grad (and self-professed horror fan) plenty to explore week to week. Woll recently spoke by phone to Hero Complex contributor Gina McIntyre about the upside of portraying an impulsive young woman struggling to find herself — who just happens to have a taste for human blood — and what fans can expect from the striking redhead in the series' upcoming fourth season, which begins June 26.
GM: What can you reveal about Jessica's story arc in Season 4?
DAW: It's always very important to me that Jessica end up in a different place at the end of the season than where she started. In some ways writers do that obviously — they're creating plot for you. But just in myself and the way Jessica might have reacted to a scene last year, if a similar situation comes up this year, I try to think, 'Well how would she have shifted in her approach toward this a little bit?' Even though Jessica's still 17, time has gone by, so there's a maturity coming about but even out of that, Jessica's searching for something, she's searching for herself and she's going to make some mistakes along the way. I think audiences will love Season 4. I've really enjoyed reading all of our scripts this year. As you've seen in some of the teasers, it's very political. All of the vampires are motivating to improve their self-image. That will be a fun way to see this season, I think.
GM: "True Blood" has such a fervent fan following. What would you say it is about the series that most appeals to audiences?
DAW: I think it's this idea of connecting with your darker sides and that they don't necessarily have to be all bad. That sexual desires and even, I don't want to say rageful desires necessarily, but even these more angry impulses are not necessarily unhealthy as long as you sort of know how to control them and use them and what they do for you. If more people punched pillows, we might be a happier society in a way, but we're so used to having to bury all of those instincts that they fester. "True Blood" is a nice place to go that says, 'You know what? We have all of these shades of gray in us and maybe we should start accepting that and working with it as opposed to against it.'
GM: Do you feel that genre-based series like "True Blood" or AMC's "The Walking Dead" are finally beginning to garner more mainstream respect and acknowledgment?
DAW: It's always good to be respected no matter what genre it is, but you have to get people to watch that genre in order to respect it. I think that's maybe the shift I've seen — a bit more of an interest and I think there's something that's being scared that's kind of fun. Maybe that's just me, but I'm hugely into scary movies and roller coasters and haunted houses. I enjoy that feeling. Nothing gets under your skin so much as something that scares you. Things can make you cry, they can make you laugh, but if it really scares you, it got into your core in a way that very few other things can. I think sometimes what's really cool about doing genre work, at least for me, if we can scare you and get into your middle with that, then we can talk about something that might be interesting or thought-provoking. You can use this genre in a really strong way to get inside people's minds and try to open them.
GM: Is that what initially drew you to the series?
DAW: I wasn't in a position when I got this part to be drawn to anything. I was asking, 'Would anybody please hire me?' But it definitely keeps me there. It's one of the things that I really appreciate about my job. There's no point in doing genre work unless you're going to say something about society. It's fantastic to be in a show that does that, that isn't just in it for the cheap thrills necessarily but uses those thrills to provoke something else. Jessica's fun for me because she's impulsive. A lot of times the writers will write something for me to do and it's nice not to have to go, 'Well, would she do that or not? I don't know.' I just get to do it. It creates this really fun, crazy personality that keeps trying. Jessica's just trying to figure out who she is and she's going to try anything she can to get that out. She makes a lot of mistakes, but I think she's always stronger for them in the end.
GM: You mentioned you were a fan of horror films. Could you name a few of your favorites?
DAW: "The Descent" is one of my favorites. It's such a good movie. I saw that in a theater in the UK when it came out, no idea what it was. I just sat down with a couple of friends of mine when I was there and we watched it. It was so scary. I go way back to the old Universal pictures. I love "The Wolf Man" and "Dracula" and "The Mummy," all those are just so great, "Phantom of the Opera," "Creature From the Black Lagoon," all these great classic monster films. Think about Bela Lugosi. He's kind of the first sexy vampire but he was so strange. He was so queer in that way. You couldn't get a handle on who he was or what he wanted. Even at the end, you know he's a creature and he wants blood and he wants the women and all that, but still he was so mysterious. I think about what it would have been like to have gone to the theater back then and seen that movie. That would have been cool to have seen the first real cool vampire portrayal on film.
GM: Do you use anything from those earlier films in your portrayal of Jessica?
DAW: "True Blood" is its own new imagining of what a vampire is. Ours are much more animalistic in my mind than some of them have been previously. For me, when I'm feeding, I really think about how animals feed, they hold the head down and brace it. There's a whole physicality to feeding that's important and then a human physicality for a romantic scene. I would say a little bit of that strangeness, how can I be just off center of what this person might be if they were just human? Can I be just a little more dangerous, a little more impulsive? A little bit more extreme so that people can't get a grasp on what you are. I'd like people to be surprised at pretty much everything Jess does.

Added Sep 16, 2008
Halle, Germany
I wanted to try this pattern and find out, if the shape suits me. I'm satisfied, also I don't have a wesp-waist. I really liked the fabric and thought I would be good for the Marie pattern. It is like linen and unfortunately crinkles easy. And I added black lace! You can grade up everything with some lace :D
By the way: I'm wearing my JJ blouse, which I finally repaired (I had to take out the whole back-part!) – only for those who were asking what I'm doing the whole holidays ;)
Edit: I added some pics with the skirt after ironing ;)
Material Notes
cotton, flow like linen
Burda for the great pattern. I'm thinking about selling this skirt – it is, allowed, isnt it?

Marie and JJ work wonderfully together. Great skirt, and good to hear that you repaired your JJ.

Very pretty/interesting skirt. It looks nice with your JJ.
Sep 16, 2008, 03.10 PMby polychromatin
I cut out size 36, but the waistband is size 38 or 40 I think, because I'm not so small around the waist.
Sep 16, 2008, 03.00 PMby dianacirne
This looks adorable! I'm not a big fan of this pattern, but I like to see in you, because is not so tight at the waist. Did you make it more big or make some alteration?
Sep 16, 2008, 02.47 PMby bola
Ah you made one as well, well done – it's great!- I think the mustard colour is catching on!!!
Sep 16, 2008, 02.15 PMby mjb14

Wireless transceiver promises double operation lifetime in smart meters
STMicroelectronics introduced a high-performance, ultra-low-power wireless transceiver for Automatic Meter Infrastructure and other wireless sensor node applications, such as alarm and security systems, home and building automation, and industrial monitoring and control. ST's SPIRIT1 transceiver combines receiver sensitivity of -120 dBm with desirable current consumption, delivering 50 percent power reduction over existing solutions in the market, according to the company. Features include full remote control, power peak and consumption analysis, anti-tampering mechanisms, fault alert, and time-variable tariffs to help make both the supply and usage of electricity, gas or water more efficient and economical. ST's SPIRIT1 transceiver handles the communication between smart meters in households and businesses and the neighborhood data concentrator, which relays the information to the utility provider control center. By enabling short-range transmissions in frequency ranges below 1 GHz[*], SPIRIT1 ensures proper wireless signal propagation through concrete walls and building structures. (*The SPIRIT1 is compliant with the Wireless M-BUS, ETSI EN 300 220, FCC CFR47 part 15 (sub parts 15.247, 15.249, 15.205, 15.209 and 15.231) and ARIB STD T-67/T-108 worldwide regulatory standards.)
SPIRIT1 boasts an outstanding receiver sensitivity of -120dBm. This allows the designer to lower the output power of the transmitter and thus further decrease the overall current consumption, while maintaining a highly robust communication channel. The transceiver supports advanced technologies like frequency hopping, auto-acknowledgment and antenna diversity to secure error-free data transmission even in harsh-environmental or challenging-logistical conditions.
Additional embedded features include 128-bit data encryption, error correction and detection, FIFO memory blocks, as well as highly flexible and programmable data packet management, which contribute to reducing the computation load of the host microcontroller and the overall system cost.

The phenomenon where the section of shirt fabric between a woman's breasts becomes stretched taut, as evidenced by several prominent horizontal "stretch folds". It occurs only when the right combination of shirt tightness, breast firmess and breast size is met. Stretch action is often displayed prominently in over-the-top anime busts.
Guy 1: Hey, check out the stretch action on that girl over there.
Guy 2: Nice!

New video boards, which will cost about $50 million and will be the largest in the NFL, are next.
Owner Shad Khan and team president Mark Lamping unveiled the redesigned logo Tuesday, a minor facelift for a franchise that's making major changes.
The new logo, which comes on the heels of hiring general manager Dave Caldwell and head coach Gus Bradley, maintains traditional colors (black, teal and gold) and offers a more realistic and fierce jaguar head.
Khan says, "Now that's a cool cat."
The Jaguars also released their theme for 2013: "Stand United" and announced tickets prices and a series of fan forums.
The massive video boards are slated to be ready by the 2014 season.

The monster who allegedly killed and mutilated the body of little Leiby Kletzky "hears voices" and as a result was ordered by a Brooklyn judge today to undergo a mental health test.
Levi Aron, 35, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and kidnapping charges after police said he killed the 8-year-old boy.
Aron, who appeared disheveled during his brief court appearance, was remanded into custody without bail.
His lawyer, Pierre Bazile, entered a plea of not guilty to first-degree murder and kidnapping charges.
"He hears voices and suffers from hallucinations," Bazile said, before the judge ordered Aron undergo a mental health evaluation.
His lawyers also said Aron would not be testifying before a grand jury.
Before Aron was brought into the courtroom, prisoners sharing a holding cell with Aron could be heard screaming, "You f–king killer!"
Aron's next court appearance is July 28.
Aron once worked at a meat counter at a Memphis supermarket. He also worked as a security guard before returning to Brooklyn in 2009.
Cops said the boy was tied up for hours before fighting for his life as Aron allegedly smothered him and then chopping him up into pieces.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Aron had scratches on his arms and wrists — evidence that the boy put up a fight before he was killed.
"There are marks on his body," Kelly said during a news conference this morning.
This comes as investigators began digging up Aron's yard in an effort to try and uncover more evidence.
"We're getting as much forensic evidence as we can," Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes said at a separate news conference.
Earlier in the day, Aron was transported to the courthouse amid a crowd that hurled insults, shouting, "Murderer!" as he was placed in a police car.
Kelly said Kletzky died as a "result of suffocation" and that the boy had been restrained because of marks found on his ankles.
"There's still tests to be done," he said. "There are lab tests that have to be conducted, but at this juncture, tentatively as a suffocation."
Aron killed the boy after he "panicked" when he noticed the missing persons fliers and heavy police presence across Brooklyn.
Cops are still looking into Aron's bizarre claim that he took the boy to a wedding in upstate Monsey before he was killed.
Kelly said they have no evidence proving that the boy was at the wedding, but Aron has been "reasonably forthcoming" with police and he does believe it is a possibility.
At the catering hall, manager Izzy Goldstein said as many as 600 people — and dozens of children — packed into Ateras Charna on Monday night.
Goldstein said the NYPD came to the catering hall Tuesday to collect surveillance videos in an effort to confirm Aron's claims.
"I hope that creep didn't pass through my doors," he said.
Detectives have reviewed videotape from the wedding reception and quizzed guests in an effort to confirm the boy's presence.
Kelly said Aron denied sexually molesting Kletzky. It remains unclear why Kletzky had been abducted.
"In this business, you see a lot of violence. … Here, it defies all logic. That's what is so disturbing about this case," said Kelly.
"It's heartbreaking," he added.
Part of the boy's body was found inside a Dumpster early Tuesday after cops tracked down Aron. Other body parts, like the boy's feet, were found inside Aron's freezer.
Kelly said Aron confessed to the crime, going into "graphic detail" about how the boy was killed.
Kelly said Aron said he was "sorry for the trouble he's caused."
Cops said Aron shaved his beard on Tuesday before going to work at a hardware store where he is a clerk.
Kelly said Aron had "cleaned up" in an effort to alter his appearance.
Surveillance video shows Leiby innocently speaking to Aron, apparently asking for directions, outside a dental office at 18th Avenue and 44th Street.
He told the boy to stay put while he ran inside and paid a dental bill. The boy stood waiting for him for seven minutes.
Aron — who police sources believe was acting on impulse — admits in his confession that he offered Leiby a ride, a source said.
"So I woke him and told him I'll bring him to his house… when I saw the flyers I panicked and was afraid. When I got home he was still there so I made him a tuna sandwich…."
When he returned home, the massive search effort had made it to his block and he "panicked," Kelly said.
"I panicked because I didn't know what to do with the body … carried parts to the back room placing parts between the freezer and the refrigerator …" Aron said in his confession.
Aron allegedly suffocated the boy with a bath towel, chopped up the body on a cutting board with three knives and stuffed the remains in black plastic garbage bags.

UC Hastings received the Bro. Kelly Cullen Community Service Award May 17, 2013 from Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation for its contributions to the Tenderloin neighborhood, including long participating in TNDC's Tenderloin After-School Program and involvement of the college's Civil Justice Clinic in local issues.
"UC Hastings is a community partner and institutional anchor in the Tenderloin," said UC Hastings CFO David Seward. "Like TNDC, we too seek to promote a vibrant, just and more livable community. UC Hastings is part of the fabric of the Tenderloin, and our students, faculty, and staff contribute to its improvement in numerous ways. In part because of TNDC's success, we have a neighborhood where people of all social and economic strata can live. We need to transform it into a neighborhood where people of all social and economic strata want to live."
Don Falk, executive director of TNDC, noted that UC Hastings has provided student tutors for TNDC's afterschool program through the college's work-study program for a dozen years. "Some 100 to 150 students have played crucial roles in that program and brought important benefits to the children and youth of the Tenderloin."
The college's Civil Justice Clinic, led for the last 20 years by Professor Mark Aaronson, has played a leading role in changing the direction of several projects affecting the Tenderloin, including California Pacific Medical Center's plans to expand facilities on the west side of town while curtailing service to low-income residents served at its St. Luke's facility. Additionally, several law professors have contributed by serving as board members of TNDC, Falk said.
Falk also noted that Seward has taken an active interest in the Tenderloin, serves on the boards of local organizations, and is genuinely concerned about the neighborhood. "The college engages with the neighborhood, instead of turning its back on it, ignoring it," Falk said. "UC Hastings is more a part of the neighborhood as a result of David Seward's activisim."
Falk noted the award is especially meaningful, given UC Hastings' sometimes rocky relationship with its neighbors over the years, including TNDC, particularly over its ownership of several SROs (Single Room Occupancy hotels) and its plan to demolish those for a large-scale commercial project.
As a state entity, UC Hastings is not subject to local ordinances such as zoning laws, rent control, and the city's SRO Hotel Conversion Ordinance, which protects such housing from conversion into tourist hotel rooms or other commercial uses.
After the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, UC Hastings demolished two residential hotels, citing the extent of the damage as the basis, and tried to pursue plans for a large commercial project on what was known as the West Block, now the site of the UC Hastings parking garage. Initially, the college hoped the site would be used for a new city and county courthouse or large commercial project.
A coalition of neighborhood groups, including TNDC, sued UC Hastings. The lead attorney, Marcia Rosen '75, then deputy director of the San Francisco Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights, led the negotiations to open the process to the public and preserve the Tenderloin's vulnerable housing stock, and they persuaded UC Hastings to scale down its plans and adopt a less aggressive development plan. In the process, the college sold two of the remaining SRO hotels it owned to TNDC, 250/260 McAllister Street, preserving that housing.
For a time, the negotiations were marked by student and neighborhood protests and raucous public meetings, one of which resulted in the arrest of then Supervisor Chris Daly in 2002 after a confrontation with police. No charges were filed.
"I am an eternal optimist about the struggle for justice and things getting better, and to that extent it is a pleasant surprise to come full circle on UC Hastings and to be able to recognize the positive things they have done for the community, after many years of criticizing them for things they did wrong or didn't do at all," Rosen said.
UC Hastings Chancellor & Dean Frank H. Wu, who accepted the award with CFO Seward, agreed with Rosen about the importance of looking forward to good relationships between UC Hastings and the neighborhood. "UC Hastings is proud to call the Tenderloin our home," he said.
Rosen presented the award to UC Hastings at TNDC's 32nd Annual Birthday Dinner May 17 at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square. The award is named after Brother Kelly Cullen, a Franciscan monk who, as executive director, turned TNDC into one of the city's largest developers of low-cost housing. TNDC now owns and manages more than 2,500 units for low-income residents. He died unexpectedly at age 57 in 2010.

We follow Oberdan Bezzi's work pretty closely here at Asphalt & Rubber, if for no other reason than we like the Italian designer's ability to fantasize about the endless possibilities available in the two-wheel world — and after, who here doesn't like to daydream about exotic motorcycles? Lately it seems Bezzi's imagination has gone to a world where Bimota uses more than Ducati's v-twin lumps in its exclusive street bikes, with his most recent sketches envisioning a BMW/Bimota collaboration.
Inking the Bimota BB-2 superbike, and it's naked sibling the Bimota BB-3 "Paura", the usual Bezzi lines and style are present in the designs. Oberdan's thought-process on the Bimota BB-3 seems to be well-timed though, as the Bavarian company has recently been caught testing a naked version of the well-selling BMW S1000RR at its facility. Set to be a true Germans streetfighter, BMW could very well succeed in a motorcycle segment that the Japanese have historically struggled with here in the US.

The pope's letter to Ireland: Two steps forward and one back?
Though its reception has been uneven--with some applauding and some shrugging--the pope's letter to the church of Ireland is definitely worthy of praise--with reservations.
First, it actually contains an apology: "You [victims] have suffered grievously and I am truly sorry. I know that nothing can undo the wrong you have endured."
Second, it has harsh words for abusers: "You betrayed the trust that was placed in you by innocent young people and their parents, and you must answer for it before Almighty God. . . . Openly acknowledge your guilt, submit yourselves to the demands of justice, but do not despair of God's mercy."
As for bishops, although the pope acknowledges the challenges some faced in understanding the "expert advice," he has tough words for them as well: "It cannot be denied that some of you and your predecessors failed, at times grievously, to apply the long-established norms of canon law to the crime of child abuse. . . . Grave errors of judgement were made and failures of leadership occurred. All this has seriously undermined your credibility and effectiveness."
Still, this one-paragraph description of the causes of the crisis is troubling: "In recent decades, however, the Church in your country has had to confront new and serious challenges to the faith arising from the rapid transformation and secularization. . . . All too often, the sacramental and devotional practices that sustain faith and enable it to grow, such as frequent confession, daily prayer and annual retreats, were neglected. . . . The programme of renewal proposed by the Second Vatican Council was sometimes misinterpreted and indeed, in the light of the profound social changes that were taking place, it was far from easy to know how best to implement it. In particular, there was a well-intentioned but misguided tendency to avoid penal approaches to canonically irregular situations."
What was that again? Secularization in Ireland and Vatican II lie behind this crisis? I don't know who slipped this passage in, but it is way off the mark, especially since most of the abuse dates to well before both Vatican II and the secularization of Ireland is more a product of the Celtic Tiger economic expansion of the last 20 years. And I hardly think the decline of weekly confession among the faithful has any relationship whatsoever to systemic abuse committed by clerics and religious in the 1950s and '60s.
Also curiously absent is a call to involve lay people explicitly in cleaning up this mess. The pope does suggest in his words to the bishops that "the lay faithful, too, should be encouraged to play their proper part in the life of the Church. See that they are formed in such a way that they can offer an articulate and convincing account of the Gospel in the midst of modern society (cf. 1 Pet 3:15) and cooperate more fully in the Church's life and mission."
The pope completely missed the boat here. In the U.S., it is the national lay review board that has been the main engine of reform in child protection, not the bishops. Every country, whether they have or know they have a sex abuse problem should create one. If you want to protect children, best to get parents involved.
Indeed, what is still going unacknowledged is the true cause of this crisis, which is neither gay clergy nor clerical celibacy. The cause is, and largely remains, a closed clerical culture in which all authority is held by a small and sociologically unique caste of individuals: celibate men. That culture has shown an almost patholigical willingness to cover up some truly monstrous crimes to protect its image. The only true solution, both to this crisis and to much else that ails the church, is a dismantling of this culture and a more (dare I say it) democratic approach to the governance of the church.
That, however, I do not see in this letter, nor do I expect it any time soon.
